Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light in your 2025 Honda HR-V signals a severe misfire or active condition that can damage the catalytic converter and compromise drivability. Immediate diagnosis at Hare Honda in Indiana is crucial to limit repair costs and maintain vehicle safety. Our certified technicians use Honda-approved diagnostic tools to capture live data, identify misfires, and isolate ignition, fuel delivery, or sensor faults. Acting quickly can prevent secondary issues like overheating, poor fuel economy, and exhaust damage. We combine transparent estimates, OEM parts, and efficient repairs to reduce downtime — often delivering same-day solutions for common faults. Take advantage of our service specials to lower out-of-pocket costs, and remember we offer service financing so you can address urgent repairs now and pay over time. If you see a flashing light, do not delay: schedule service online or contact Hare Honda to protect your HR-V and avoid larger expenses later.

2025 Honda HR-V Check Engine Light Codes

Understanding the most common codes for a 2025 Honda HR-V helps you prioritize repairs and avoid escalating expenses. Typical codes include P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0300–P0304 (random/multiple cylinder misfires), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim/system lean), and P0130–P0167 (oxygen sensor circuits). Left unresolved, a P0420 can lead to catalytic converter failure — a much more costly repair requiring replacement. Misfires (P030x) damage the exhaust system and reduce fuel economy immediately, and lean codes (P017x) can indicate vacuum leaks or failing fuel components that degrade engine life. Hare Honda in Indiana provides accurate diagnostics, clear cost estimates, and dealer-backed repairs that often represent better long-term value than piecemeal fixes. Our technicians follow OEM procedures to preserve warranty coverage and vehicle longevity. To minimize repair costs and preserve performance, schedule service quickly and check available service specials to save on preventive maintenance and repairs.
